[digital_astro] 3-D viewing tip (was M42 in 3 dimensions!)

Try saving the picture pair and open it in your paint program. Add a single
dot around 15-20 pixels or so in diameter just above each picture exactly
centered. When you are trying to view the image, concentrate on the two dots
rather than the image and try to get them to merge into a single dot so it
appears as if there are 3 dots. When they do the 3-d effect should pop right
out for you.

It may also help if you sit a little closer than you usually would to your
monitor.

Here's a couple links to good examples that explain what I mean.
